2018 Ford Fusion vs Focus - Brownsville, TX

If you're shopping for a new car, the 2018 Ford Focus and
the 2018 Ford Fusion are both excellent options. At Tipton Ford, we've put
together a guide to help you choose the one that's best for your needs.

Space

The Ford Fusion is a mid-size sedan, which means it's the
roomiest option for carrying five passengers. The Fusion's large 16-cubic-foot
trunk is near the top of its class, and its 60/40 split-folding rear seats add
even more cargo flexibility.

The FordFocus can also hold five passengers, but as a
compact car, it doesn't have quite as much back seat room. The Focus sedan has
13.2 cubic feet of trunk space, but the Focus hatchback provides an outstanding
23.3 cubic feet - and 40 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.

Here, the Fusion is a better choice if you want more
comfortable space for passengers, while the Focus hatchback is the roomiest
option for hauling cargo.

Efficiency

With the 2018 Ford Focus S base trim, you'll get 25 mpg in
the city and 34 mpg on the highway, but an upgrade to SE raises fuel economy to
30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway.* The Focus Electric gets 118 MPGe
in the city and 96 MPGe on the highway.*

The 2018 Ford Fusion S base trim provides 21 mpg in the city
and 32 mpg on the highway.* The Fusion Hybrid gets 43 mpg in the city and 41
mpg on the highway, while the plug-in Fusion Energi gets 104 MPGe in the city
and 91 MPGe on the highway.*

The Focus is the superior choice if you're looking for an
electric or gas-fueled vehicle, while the Fusion is your best bet for a hybrid.

Safety

The 2018 Ford Focus possesses an overall five-star safety
rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Meanwhile, the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives the Focus its highest score in all
but one category.

The NHTSA gives the 2018 Ford Fusion an overall five-star
safety rating. The IIHS also approves of the Fusion, naming it as a Top Safety
Pick.

With high ratings from these major organizations, both the
Focus and the Fusion are excellent options for safety-conscious drivers.

Whether you choose the 2018 Ford Focus and the 2018 Ford
Fusion will depend on your specific driving needs. However, either one of these
vehicles will provide you with options for roomy space, high efficiency, and outstanding
safety. Test drive them both at Tipton Ford.
